10000 tons was not enough, began work

Cattle Disease inAouIoun.

Correspondence of thu Alexandria Gazette.
LEEsBURG, Va, July 1S.-Mr. Charles E.
Powell has lost three cattle in the last few
days, and becoming alarmed about them, he
sent to the Agricultural Bureau for vet
Urinary DIR. Rose of that department
came up on Saturday and has pronounced
the disease Texas or Southern fever. In
addition to the cattle lost Mr.. p. has two
more seriously affected and one or two
more with indications of the disease. AS
the disease is not contagious except from
contact, there is not much anxiety among
neighboring farmers. The great trouble
with Mr.. Powell is that he has those
lots OF cattle that have come in contact with
the southern cattle, and the disease has ex-
hibited itself in each herd. He is an ex-
tensive grazier and has other cattle that are
free from danger, but one of the infected
herds are fine fat cattle. DIR. Rose says
that good rains and cool weather will have
the effect of, in measure, abating the
disease, and We hope for the cake of Mr..
Powell we may bs blessed with both.

MARSHALL, July 16, 1SS7.-With US it is
hot hot with the thermometer in the 9Os
daily. We have had heavy showers of rain
which will ensure abundant crops of corn
and hay. Our farmers have nearly COM
pleted stacking their wheat crop and some
have begun to thresh. The yield will be
fully onethrd less than the average quanti-
ty. Some otherindustry must be tried since
for three or four years past wheat culture
has absorbed nearly all the profits. Our

scheme.
The grazers have begun to ship from

per pound cattle weighing from twelve to
fifteen hundred pounds gross must prove

jor r. R. Foster have splendid specimens OF
this stock on their farms.

Along the political horizon of our Pied
mont country all at present is calm. The
late letter of President Cleyeland declining
10 visit 81. Louis and to be exposed to the

of true man, and it is to be hoped that the
New South as we'll as every genuine Ameri.
can will seek to recolect Mr.. Cleveland for

PRECoCIoUs DEPRAyITY.-At BarnWell,
S. c., Saturday, Judge Hudson sentenced
Axey Cherry, coored girl twelve years
old, to be hanged on the third Friday in
September, for the murder of the infant OF
MIR. Amos Williams, OF Alendale, in Barn
we'll county. The child was sent by her
mother to act us nurse for the Williams
baby. She poked around the house and at
tended to her duties in so negligent man.
ner that she had to be constantly scolded.
After scolding one day she was overheard
muttering 10 herself that she WAS not going
to bother with that baby much more. "A
few DAYS after this, concentrated lye was
used in securing the floor, and when Mrs.
Williams Left the room for few minutes
she told Axey that the lye was poisonous
and that she mustn't touch it. On her re-
turn, Mrs. Williams was Mortified to find
her baby's mouth full of concentrated lye.
Axey ran out Of the house, saying as she
left, II don't reckon I'll have to nurse that
baby much longer now" The young MUIR
deress all through her trial seemed to have
no idea of the terrible nature of her deed,
and when she was sentenced to be hanged,
she gazed stupidity at the judge, and grinned
as she played with the buttons on her dress.
